We've plan to have one more CTP before the final release around late March. More details, including any updates should this plan change, are on the Release Plans page. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the CTP - and as let us know your thoughs using the Forums and Issue Tracker tools.

Peter – we aren’t aware of any significant stability issues in this release, although we do have a list of minor issues we are yet to look at. However there is still a lot of testing that has not yet been completed, so we don’t know what other issues are lurking. Given this we don’t recommend using CTP releases in production applications. Depending on your project timeframe it may be feasible to start developing using a CTP if there is enough time to switch to the final release once it’s available.

Just a quick query on the new Rolling Flat file logger – maybe it’s just a CTP thing, but I would have thought this would have been a simple extension to the existing flat file logger with two new properties: RollInterval and RollSizeKB. It doesn’t even appear to support formatters? (i.e. No formatter property).

Yes it’s a CTP thing. There are a few known issues with the first drop, including lack of formatter support, which will be fixed in the final release. We considered updating the existing implementation, but we’re changing some of the details of locking etc and we didn’t want to break any apps that relied on the existing behavior.

there’s a potential problem in the way you’re handling the Transaction.TransactionCompleted event. There’s a known bug where the TransactionEventArgs.Transaction has already been disposed when you receive the event.

Ashley – This sounds like the download failed for some reason – it should be an .msi file you can install. Have you tried downloading again (possibly from a different machine if the corrupt file is being cached)?
